A honours degree is different from an ordinary degree in the sense that the course load (credit) is heavier than that of a regular degree. Although nowadays the term has lost its relevance.

1. One cannot find much difference between a Bachelors of Science degree and Bachelors of Science (Hons) degree.

2. Three years are needed to complete a Bsc degree, and four years for the completion of a Bsc (Hons) degree.

3. The Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree is considered to be superior to the Bachelor of Science degree.

4. The Bsc (Hons) is considered to be, academically, more standard than the ordinary Bsc degree.

5. A student will have to write a dissertation for the completion of a Bsc (Hons) degree. On the other hand, this is not mandatory for a Bsc degree.

6. A Bsc degree is easier to obtain than a Bsc (Hons) degree.

Go thru this thread below:

https://www.nairaland.com/2373431/difference-between-bsc-bsc-hons

Meanwhile, there's no clear cut deference, it's a borrowed tag that is not applicable in Nigeria universities. In most universities abroad, you can do a bachelors program without a dissertation or project. So you just do your coursework without doing a project and u are awarded a bachelor's degree. But if you complete a project work, you are awarded a degree with Hons. But in Nigeria universities, there's no option of doing a bsc without a project work. So the hons Nigeria universities borrowed is not really applicable here so different universities give it their own meaning.

Bachelors degree and Bachelors degree (Hons) aren't much different, the former takes only 3 years to complete and writing a dissertation (project) at the end of the three years ism't mandatory but the later takes one more year to complete and requires one to write a dissertation at the end, also, in some countries, Bachelors degree (Hons) is considered more superior than Bachelors degree.

The B.Sc (Hons) degree is awarded when a course of study is completed within the maximum number of years allowed to study such a course in that particular university. Whereas, a student gets a B.Sc degree without honours when he completes his course of study outside the stipulated duration.

For instance, the minimum number of years required to study Engineering in any Nigerian University is 5yrs, and the maximum number of years is between 7-8yrs.

If a student completes his study within 5-8yrs, he gets B.Sc (Hons). But, if he does so after 8yrs, he gets B.Sc without the honours.

NB: This is how it is in Nigeria.

You can only add the 'Hons' to your degree if you were a honorable in your school and the election that got you into that position wasn't rigged. Anything anyone else is writing aside what I just wrote is complete rubbish! angry

Exactly.. No need for further argument also students are awarded without honour when they finished with a pass which does not fall into any class of degree. You got it perfectly well.

Your GPA determines if you should graduate with honors or not, I mean, that's how it is here in the USA.

Whether hons, horns, hoofs or claws, your are damned if you ain't got a skill. Forget all this degree nonsense and go acquire a skill. While those with hons or whateve 'd be searching for jobs, jobs 'd be searching for you.
